realmolo:She is a bad actress, but she's not any worse than most actresses, or actors. And she's got charisma.

People confuse "acting" with "being charismatic". Most of our big actors and actresses are just charismatic. It's the character actors that are doing the real acting. There are exceptions. Philip Seymour Hoffman is a good actor. And Brad Pit can act, too, though he rarely takes roles that require it anymore.

You're going to have to prove that one. The only stuff I can remember him ever being in was high-action. Even 'drama' stuff like 'last fake-warrior-from-japan' was still just him stuck in a field, not really acting.

What does it say about me when first looked that picture and I saw Anne Hathaway I first thought "What the hell? Is that Veronica Avluv?"

NOTE:Googling Veronica Avluv will lead to some very naughty images and movies that will get you not only fired from work, but they will destroy your computer and salt the ground upon which your cube used to be.

Dougie AXP:Lachwen: Tealeaf: Yeah, I don't get the dress thing either. Switching to different one so she didn't clash with another actresses if anythings seems like a fairly classy move. I'm not the kinda of chick that usually wears dresses, but if I did fancy up for some big event I think I'd really apppreciate it if someone did the same for me.

Apparently I suck at being female, because I just don't see how two women wearing similar-looking dresses by the same designer to the same event is a problem. Why didn't she just wear her Valentino anyway and do a "Hey look! Twinsies!" photo op with Seyfried? That's what I would have done. (I'm also most decidedly not famous, so I'm probably missing something.)

And supposedly (I heard this from a gossip site somewhere, so it should be taken with a barrel or two of salt), Hathaway had a screaming fit at Seyfried when she learned they were planning on similar dresses. If that's true, it was kinda the opposite of classy.

You don't suck at being a woman, you seem to be using logic and friendliness to determine your behavior.

Don't change that. More women thinking your way would be awesome.

Yes, we need more women spreading unfounded gossip about so-and-so who threw a TOTAL screaming fit, ohmygawd! I know it's true because my sister's hairdresser said she overheard it on the bus from some guy with a People magazine under his arm. And besides, did you see how FAT she looked in that outfit the other day?

I think a lot of celebs are being reviled based purely on the (often extremely egotistical) crap they put on Twitter. They may have a million devoted followers, but then another ten million read their tweets just out of spite, and decide that not having worn the Valentino gown that was especially provided for this occasion and instead having worn the Prada at the last minute was beyond the pale! And that having said, "It came true!" during her Oscar acceptance speech was totally phony and obnoxious, damn her! Or they find any other reason to hate a celeb. All this hatred gets picked up by gossip sites and overblown. I am pretty indifferent to Ann Hathaway because I've never seen her in anything other than when she hosted the Oscars with James Franco, and she seemed pleasant enough, if a little awkward, but that was probably because her co-host was stoned. I'm so glad I'm not a celeb.

I never claimed that I knew it to be true. In fact I qualified it pretty heavily. I don't trust gossip-rag reporting much further than I could poop it out.

Clutch2013:farkplug: People are pissed at Ann Hathaway because she wouldn't wear a Valentino dress to the Oscars once she learned that Amanda Siegfried (sp?) would be wearing a similar one, so she ditched it for the plain, pale pink Prada one. But worse, she issued a press statement to explain all this and apologize to Valentino. It just pushed her into 'diva' territory.

January Jones is reviled because she had a string of relationships with men in quick succession and has a baby with one of them and won't reveal who the father is so she's suspected of being a home wrecker.

And that's all the internet has taught me.

Wait, wait.

Anne learned that Amanda Seyfried was about to wear a dress similar to hers, so she busted out a contingency dress, let everyone know about it and apologized for it? And she's a "diva" now because of that?

...the fark?

I think the Hateaways were more offended by the fact that she was a shoe in to win supporting actress at every imaginable award show, and she did, and then at the Oscars she got all weepy and "This is such a surprise!" etc., etc. It just seemed really artificial to see the "OMG- I am STUNNED and I can't believe this is really happening to me! (crying and smiling bravely through the tears) speech for the 14th time.

Whatever, I like her. I could care Fing less about any of this, but she seems to be as skittish as a racehorse and all this jealous petty backlash will no doubt send her into a paranoid tailspin.
